Breakfast at Grand Floridian Cafe

The Grand Floridian Cafe located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is one of those table service locations on Disney property that I have had hit or miss experiences with. It’s been a while since I had been for breakfast, and when my family was staying at the Grand Floridian DVC rooms for the weekend, it seemed like the perfect time to enjoy a meal there again.

Dinner at Boatwright’s Dining Hall

Boatwright’s Dining Hall is a table service restaurant located at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort. It was a longtime favorite of mine for many years due to some pretty awesome chefs who were working there. Chef Tony who used to the head chef there is one of the big masterminds behind the allergy-friendly beignets over at Port Orleans French Quarter. And his work creating special dietary needs options that were delicious and authentic made both Riverside and French Quarter excellent resorts for guests with special dietary needs. Though Chef Tony is no longer there (if you visit him at Restaurant Akershus in the Norwary Pavilion, you’re in for a treat!), I was hopeful that were would still be plenty of great options, when I had dinner there with my family recently. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a great experience when I dined there two years ago, so I was cautiously optimistic.

Lunch at Serenity Bay BBQ

During our three day cruise on the Disney Dream, we spent an amazing day at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. And, our favorite spot on the island had to be Serenity Bay — an area exclusively for adults. It is truly a place of serenity. And, we loved every minute of relaxing there on the beach. Guests who visit Serenity Bay can also enjoy lunch at Serenity Bay BBQ, which includes many of the items served at the other Castaway Cay BBQ spots. Because we were having dinner at Remy that night, we decided to enjoy a light lunch at Serenity Bay BBQ.

Lunch at Gasparilla Island Grill

Gasparilla Island Grill is a quick service restaurant located in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Recently, I stopped by here for lunch with my family while they were staying at the resort’s DVC rooms during a weekend visit. It has been three years since I have eaten lunch or dinner at Gasparilla Island Grill, so I was looking forward to checking it out and seeing what options were currently available.

Debarkation Breakfast at Royal Palace

Our amazing three day cruise on the Disney Dream was finally coming to an end. And, to end the cruise on a high note, we made sure to get one last meal on the Disney Dream. Because our rotational dining restaurant on our third night was Royal Palace, that meant we were dining at Royal Palace for breakfast for debarkation. I had enjoyed a lovely breakfast the day before at Royal Palace on our Castaway Cay day. However, because we were dining during debarkation, they offer a modified breakfast menu that includes quick options and easy to prepare fare.
